''Valwraith has tracked to the sea where the mercenaries and Zestorung set of on their quest. She hears a voice behind her'' Heehee! Lookin' fer d'beasts dat sailed, eh? I 'eard dey was lookin' fer a Gray Cup. Went on a ship they did, led by a big stoatbeast. Called an Emp'rer

Valwraith turns to see a small, grizzled old rat

Interesting...what you tell me this for, rat?

The rat shrugs his narrow shoulders

The weasel tribe dat took up wid em killed me mate. I'm just one beast. Yew look like a capable foxer, mayhaps yew could 'elp a rat like me. I know where there's treasure an' I'll let yer 'elp yersel' to et if'n ye'll help me out. What d'yew say, eh?

Valwraith grips her staff

I help you, rat. I looking for somebeast myself

The rat grins and they shake paws

Aye, good, good! We'll 'elp each other! I gots me a boat, foller me

''Valwraith follows the small rat to where his boat is cleverly hidden in the sand. He disappears down a hole and reappears with four haversacks for the journey and hops in beside her, stowing the sacks under the seat at the stern. With a push of an oar, they are off into the mild blue waters''
